    Been creeping for a while but figured I'd post. Bought a 2011 SR5 PreRunner about 3 weeks ago. Already put almost 3000 miles on it from a trip to Paducah, KY to help with flooding and family. I upgraded from a 07 Ram 1500 quad cab with a 4.7 V8. I'm loving the Tacoma so far.

    I use the truck to go back and forth to work but plan on doing some suspension and exterior mods at some point.

    First thing on the agenda is upgrading the wheels. I got a set of 09' TRD wheels I'll be putting on this Monday.

    Next will probably be the fog light mod and HIDs, light bar after that, then spindles shocks and AAL.

    Can't wait to get involved.

    Yeah the Ram served it's purpose and it never left me stranded but I've wanted a Tacoma since my dad got his pickup in 95.

    The only thing I have to say is it sure doesn't sound like my 4.7 with long tubes and e-cutouts.
